Following Jesus begins by humbling ourselves.

“I am the least of the apostles” (1 Corinthians 15:9)
“I am the very least of all the saints” (Ephesians 3:8)
“I am the foremost of sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).
“I am the least of the apostles” (1 Corinthians 15:9) AD 59
“I am the very least of all the saints” (Ephesians 3:8) AD 63
“I am the foremost of sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15) AD 64

“The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of your greatness is.” - Philip Brooks

‘Humility is a great work, and a work of God. The way of humility is to undertake bodily labor, and believe yourself a sinner, and make yourself servant of all.’

‘To be the servant of all is not to look at the sins of others, always to look at your own sins, and to pray to God without ceasing.’

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less." - C.S. Lewis

Romans 12:10
“…prefer one another…”

How might we cultivate a heart of humility this week (humility towards God and humility towards others)?
